On my Nails Today: Burberry Nail Polish in Pale Grape

When Burberry added nail polishes to the makeup range, I was quite enthusiastic and even picked up an early-release set online. Of course, as is usually the story with a lot of my purchases, once the newness wore off a bit, the polishes just sat there and I never did get around to reviews. Anywho, the color I have on today is from the Burberry Runway Nail Collection set - Pale Grape 410 - but it's also available to buy on its own now. The color is a cooler toned bluish purple that, in typical Burberry fashion, is subtle and neutral while still staying a little on the brighter side.

Burberry Nail Polish - Pale Grape 410 The bottle has a longish cap with the Burberry plaid pattern on it, but once that comes off, the bottle does look just a teeny bit odd, imo. I cropped an older photo - was too lazy to click fresh set of bottle pics - so excuse the noisy/crappy clarity on the photo :P

The formula on this particular polish is fabulous. It's creamy and applies beautifully to a smooth glossy finish. Opaque with a single coat, but I have used 3 coats here in the photos to give better depth to the color, and I think it just looks better this way. Burberry polishes, in general, are quick drying to touch, but I would definitely recommend waiting a bit before rummaging about in a bag to avoid dents and chips in the polish.

Burberry Pale Grape is a good pick for anyone who likes neutral nails but wants something with a bit more pop than the usual taupes and greys. The finish is glossy and smooth, though it does need a top coat to retain that fresh look. Personally, I don't think the color looks particularly great on my skin tone, but it's a lovely formula, and if you are a Burberry fan, you might like this color :)

I have to disagree with you and say that colour looks amazing on your skin and you have exquisite nails! I would have never thought to try this colour on my skin tone, but now I'm gonna go hunting high and low for this !! Thanks for the inspiration :)
